Overview
- Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Maria Cavalluzzi found Raymond Boodarian not presently competent to stand trial at a Nov. 13 hearing.
- Boodarian refused transportation from jail and did not appear, and the court proceeded after his attorney waived his right to be present.
- The judge authorized involuntary psychotropic medication, finding treatment medically appropriate and likely effective to restore competency.
- A transfer to a state hospital was ordered, and a follow-up competency hearing is scheduled for December 19.
- Boodarian is charged with killing Robin Kaye and Thomas Deluca during a July 10 Encino burglary, with special-circumstance allegations and evidence including surveillance footage and a welfare-check discovery four days later.
